THE JOURNEYMalcolm uttered a sound as though to talk; he checked all of us with his developing eyes as we tuned in with family interest. Each point he has referred to is fixed in my frontal cortex."The journey isn't exactly all around as dangerous as you normally suspect it is. The Zygars are an extraordinarily hazardous opposition pack. They never kept up with the idea that we ought to spread all through the country; their boss, Zanko, was second to the grandmaster, Chiffu, of the Sickle relationship for quite a while, and subsequently a contention broke out. Zanko knew all of the medications the chief had and all of the flavors to reestablish, kill, patch, and make weakened. He acquired the trick from his ruler and after a short time began to gather his master's lovers for himself. He later organized a defeat against his master, yet he was deceived by someone in his social occasion for a smidgen of money."."He was betrayed." Thomas asked. His tone was a mix of shock and bewilderm
THE RULES"A vow?" I considered it. My eyes widened in shock, yet the subsequent I went to Mancho, he didn't look flabbergasted at me. He had all the earmarks of being more like he was by then used to everyday practice."Are you completely ready?" Malcolm asked."For sure''. I answered. "I proved to be the best for the title for the latest confrontational strategies in my city." I added. The room exploded with laughter. I was bewildered about what I said. The older individual spun his seat and grinned at me."That is a good one, and I certainly have a few experiences with the award and the flavor. I was there myself, with my young fellows, to watch you. In any case, she wasn't energized. In other words, clearly, that it's an advantage to our focal objective, but no one goes to a disaster area unarmed. Zander would never have bombarded on that part. Your father was the best master marksman we had; he could kill anything with basically an impression. He had the eyes of a bird of prey."
THE BIG PLANThe past night was conceivably the most quiet night Thomas has ever had. The bumble bee from his phone made him toss on the limited scale framed bed.With his eyes shut, he associated the phone and put it in his ear right after swiping the get button."You need to stir, kid." Sir Larry's voice came impacting into the phone. I got the report last night. You were knocked off.".Thomas scoffed. He understood his uncle would constantly call to make jokes of him. He steadied himself on the bed and got up quickly. His voice really has a thick tone."I had no clue about what that was." He said he was cleaning his face. As he talked into the phone, he inspected the room. Mancho had gone out; the time on the wall showed 6:45 a.m. Thomas considered where Mancho could have gone during this time."We have very far to go, Thomas. Malcolm has asked that we train you properly. I will have Mancho show you in my place."."Is it probably true that you are leaving town?""No, I will be your
A SET UPThomas was in his room reminiscing his plans to get the killers of his father when his phone began ring.” Why is she even calling?’ he asked the question in his mind the moment he looked at the phone.There is no damn way he was going to let her manipulate his life like she had done when he was still dating her. His intention was to ask her to stop calling but when he heard her voice everything changed.“Tricia we are done and I already told you the last time you called, why do you keep bothering me?" he spat the words into the phone and the moment she heard his voice feigned a shallow cry in the background.“Thomas please I need your help, I am very sick and I am stuck here.” her voice held so much Panic in it. Thomas held the phone in his ear and listened to her whine.“I can’t understand a word you are saying” Thomas told her.“I am in danger Thomas and I need you to help me”. She began to cry and wail.“I am on my way, just don’t get into a fight with them”. Thomas told he
LET HIM GO Thomas allowed them to move him like a criminal out of the hotel. “I am not what you all think I am”. He said but not one of them gave a hoot about what he had to say. Move it!” They yelled and smacked him on the back with the baton they held in their hand. George and Tricia came out laughing loudly with their friends and making mockery at him for going to jail just as they had planned but they never knew that a bigger plan awaits them. The officers shoved Thomas into the back of their patrol van and zoomed off. “The moment they got to the station. They kept him in a room all by himself and then in about Thirty minutes Sir Larry and Lucas stormed the police station for his release. Outside Thomas could hear the chaotic noise and increment of voices. “That’s Sir Larry’s voice," he said to himself as he got up from the little bench in the dark room. He had been kept there to wait for his fate. He rushed forward and held the bar of the prison. “Come get me out of here
REVENGE Maven it's not what you think it is believe me”. I opened my hands up in the air and tried to explain to her. She looked at me for a while and sighed. Did you go to the room or not because the pictures and videos are flying everywhere and you know how my family is. This is not going to be nice when Grandma gets to stumble on this disgraceful video. Look at you standing before a half naked woman struggling with her”. Maven spoke in a slightly harsh tone. I bowed my head to avoid her eyes.“Look at me when I am talking to you Thomas. This is not acceptable. If you see me going to live under this roof as my husband then you will do as I say. I want you to cut all ties with that evil ex of yours. It's disheartening that after all she made you go through in the hands of her new boyfriend and the school you still found a soft spot to go be with her in a hotel. What is wrong with you men? You can not control your emotions and the balls in between your legs”. She spat the words
THE DINNERMaven knew she would get a gig or at least meet some nice people who could help her get a different job in a well reputable company. Thomas was still in the kitchen making food for Lady Victoria when Maven entered.“Do you need help with the spinach?” she asked him with her eyes resting solely on the spinach displayed in a bowl before her.“Yeah, I would appreciate that”. Thomas answered her, The entire morning he has been busy with chores and this evening he decided to make a delicious meal for Lady Victoria before accompanying Maven to the dinner.“You know we have an event in the next three hours”. She reminded him. Thomas nodded and smiled at her.“I remember Maven, how can I even forget?” he stared blankly. “Well, it’s a meeting of great minds and men with all the wealth and affluence will be present. I need you to look your best so I managed to get a suit from my savings. I hope you like it though”. Maven says getting her hands busy with the onion.“Thank you so much
FIGHTING FOR HIMThe hall was filled with people when Thomas and Maven arrived. Her mouth was still poured when Thomas pulled the car into the venue.“You still upset at me cause I didn't notice your red lipstick on time? Thomas asked her as he took off the seat from his waist. Maven folds her arms across her chest and looks away.“But you never did until I asked”. She said deviantly.Thomas already knows that all of this attitude is because he didn't tell her she was beautiful when she finished dressing up. Maven is an only child and from what he gathered she was loved by her father even up till his demise and so she still hasn't grown out of the love that she received. Thomad shook his head and got out of the car. “My lady…I beg thee” he said in a playful way.Maven laughed at Thomas' attempt to speak in the old way. “You know you can't do that old English thing here right?” She told him as she gets out of the car.“Oh well, I think I should never have tried”. Thomad answered and
THE INSTALLMENT The day of the great ceremony everyone was skeptical about had finally come. Maven and her family now lived in peace. Thomas was now great and known all over the city for his good deeds. George was still in the psychiatric care hospital while his father, the former governor, has lost his position and is still in prison. Thomas has always envisioned a day like this to come but he didn’t know it was this close. After signing the deal with the Lesotho group he had emerged as a leader and the date for his installment as the healer and Martial lord in all provinces had finally come. Maven raced the hallway of her family house trying to get herself ready without missing out on anything. Today was a big day for her as well. Thomas was crowned the Master Chief of the martial arts club and as the healer of the century. She on the other hand would be receiving a recognition award for the just concluded construction contract she had handled for the government. It’s a two in o
HOME AT LAST The moment they finished the duo got up and began to walk from the VIP lounge section to the main restaurant. Suddenly Thomas paused as a sense of danger hit him. His eyes shot a glowing green light and when Maven saw it she became very terrified. “What is wrong with you Thomas?Why are your eyes glowing?”she began to panic.From all she could see, Thomas looked like a demigod. “Is everything alright? The moment she shook him violently he came back to his original self. The green glow in his eyes died down immediately. “I think someone needs my help around here”. He said unbuttoning his suit as he began to walk faster. He increased his pace so much that Maven had to run along with him. “What do you mean someone needs your help?” she asked him but he gave her deaf ears and continued without stopping to say a single word. She called his name and ran after him till they got to the hall. “Call the ambulance”. Maven heard loud voices screaming while others tried to gi
A DATE The moment Maven got home her mom had done the decorations and a cake was placed on the table with candles. ‘What’s going on here? Maven asked as she walked into the living room. Lady Victoria had a smile on her face. “Happy birthday my child”. Lady Victoria said, handing the glass of wine to Maven. ‘Mom. You did all of this for me? Awn! Thank you so much”. Maven said smiling, she took the glass from her mom and sipped from the wine. “This is good.” She then cleared her throat and clasped her hands together. “Look what we have here”.She exclaimed and rushed off to sit close to the cake. I have a wish and I want to make it. She closed her eyes and took in a deep breath for a second before blowing off the candle sticks. Lady Victoria and Abigail clapped their hands happily. “Happy birthday Ms.” Abigail said to her and handed her a small box. “You got me a gift too?’ Maven asked with her eyes watering. “Come here” she grabbed the lady and hugged her tightly. This h
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAVEN "What agreement are you talking about mom?"Maven asked her mother. “You know about it already and Grandma here knows too. It’s long overdue and I need to get my life together. A life outside of the Taylor’s roof”. Lady Victoria was determined to get her life back at least for the rest of her days. Having a companion and someone to share her burden with. “Grandma, what do you have to say to this proposal?’ Maven asked, looking at her grandma with knowing eyes. “Mom, what exactly are they talking about? What deal do you have with Victoria? Do you have any idea Derrick?’ Patrick turned to his brother and asked him. Derrick shook his head. “I have no damn idea anything like this ever took place. “Whoa! Mom, that's pure wickedness. I thought all these while she stayed back with us because she so loved her husband and wanted to keep the legacy going. I never knew you had some contract running right under our noses” Patrick said the words without filtrating an
WE ARE SORRY Since the incident Maven has just been minding her business until Grandma’ request for dinner came through. She had always known who grandma was when it came to having dinner or lunch or even breakfast at her place. With all that has gone on she just doesn’t want to get entangled with grandma and her boys, just focusing on her job and if need be quit if another chaos comes. All that mattered to her right now was her peace of mind and sanity. Maven walked down to meet her mother in the living room. “Mom, did Grandma Clara call you?’ She asked her mother if she had her eyes glued on the TV for her favorite show. The lady shook her head repeatedly without taking her eyes off the screen. “Well, I guess we would be having dinner at grandmas’ I suggest you go get dressed.” She informed her mother. Lady Victoria looked up at Maven with a frown on her face. “I am not going to Clara’s house for no dinner” she said rudely, grabbing the remote control on the table. “Why?Sh
SENTENCED It’s been three months since Sebastian has been in and out of court. His Lawyer Bryan knows well that Sebastian would never win the case against the government and the Al Thani’s. The biggest name in the society. He had his head bowed in the cubicle when his lawyer made the last statement. The presiding judge Albert Wilmore sat on his seat with the wig hanging stylishly on his head. An old man from the North. He is presumed to be the best and sincere judge in the entire city. “Get me out of here” he whispered to his lawyer in a very soft tone. “I am trying my best. The judge is a strict one but I will see what I can do. “What do you even mean by that? I don’t need you to try, I need you to get me out. What’s there to lie and convince the court that I didn’t do it? You can’t even lie. Shame on you”. He said and just then the judge hit the gavel to maintain order. The break was over. The judge cleared his throat. “After hearing from both parties, this honorable court
LET THEM GO The moment she saw the news she knew she had to do something to save her son. She had gone to the station to plead and try to bride David but the officers wouldn’t let her do that despite the fact that they know her too well. “I need my son out of here. No one is saying anything”, she began to cry. Just then Thomas drove in. She threw her bag on the floor and rushed to meet him. “I asked you to get your lawyers ready. David is appearing in court in a few days and there is nothing anyone will do about it. I will not let him treat my wife like that all because of envy”. Thomas was still pissed at what David did. But before he could say one more word, the old woman fell on her knees and began to plead. Everyone came out and began to look in surprise that the all mighty Lady Clara Taylor could go on her knees begging a small boy like Thomas all because she wants her son to come out of prison. At this point Thomas remembered his grandma and how she had gone to her k
CROWNED The morning after the whole incident Thomas’s assistant called in. Thomas was still in bed when his phone began to ring. “It’s too early for all the calls to start coming in”. He murmured as she reached out for the phone. Seeing Greg’s name made his heart churn a little bit. “Greg, what do we have this morning?’ he asked in a greasy voice. “Sir, you have a meeting with the Lesotho group at 9am”. His phone was calm and patient. “I will try not to be late. Put everything in other”. “Yes boss! Greg answered. They spoke on the phone for a while listing Thomas’ meetings and activities for the day after which they ended the call. Thomas got out of bed grudgingly. After the whole drama for the week he doesn’t see himself getting into any meeting or sit but he had to do it for the sake of the company. The company has to go one way or the other. Just as he got the tip of his bed a knock came on his door. He turned his head to look over. He knows his grandpa or Lucas, his co
MAVEN IS DISCHARGED Lady Victoria has never been this rude to grandma but since Grandma has decided to bite the finger that feeds her then she would have to face the dance and the music she had set for herself. Thomas left the prison that instance and he headed straight to the hospital to meet Maven. On his way he had asked Grace Maven’s assistant to watch over her while they await her discharge time. He hurried and drove the car to the hospital and when he arrived at the front gate the men he kept to safeguard the yard nodded at him. They were dressed in black suits and black face Masks different from the security men who work for the hospital. He raised up using the elevator to the fourth floor where Maven was. He waved at the nurse rashly and wafted past her like spoke ready to consume a whole bush. This was the moment he wished he could kill his enemies with his powers but that would not be very necessary at this point. He is not big enough to face David and Sebastian. Rath
